Cookery at Truro School

Brand new, purpose-built cookery school offering state-of-the art workstations and equipment, a large demonstration area with overhead camera and a brand new Café.

In partnership with Leiths School of Food and Wine, Cookery is available to the Upper Sixth as part of the PSHE curriculum with ‘Cooking on a budget for university’ and as a wider part of the Co-Curricular programme. Cookery will become part of Wednesday Afternoon Activity programme for 4th Year to Lower Sixth with a variety of courses including ‘Round the world’ – cookery skills within an international context, ‘Cooking for life’ – building confidence in the kitchen with classic recipes and ‘How to cook’ – basic cooking skills with everyday recipes.

Wednesday afternoon activities 2:15pm – 4:00pm

Wednesday Afternoon Activities cost – £75-90 per term depending on term length. Cost of course will be added to the school bill. Cost of activity will include all ingredients and containers: In order to ensure that each students has all the correct ingredients and to avoid risk of any ingredients not being stored properly between home and the start of the activity, the Cookery School will source and supply everything. This will include suitable, recyclable/reusable, containers in which to bring home their creation in one piece!
